Although many patients do not have ascites, they have swollen limbs. While taking medication to control the tumor, adding 30-50g of Astragalus to the decoction can also improve the condition within 3-5 days.

Traditional Chinese medicine believes that cancerous ascites is caused by deficiency of the liver, spleen, and kidney, with qi stagnation, blood stasis, and water retention as symptoms, with both deficiency and excess present. Astragalus is a holy medicine for replenishing Qi. When Qi flows, blood flows, and when blood flows, water also flows. When Qi, blood, and body fluids are all flowing normally, the above symptoms will naturally improve, and the disease will be three-quarters cured. Therefore, adding large doses of Astragalus to decoctions can also produce unexpected effects.

Or use boiling water to brew Astragalus as tea, one dose per day, 20 days as a course of treatment. 27 cases were treated, 19 were cured and 6 were effective.

Chronic kidney disease is mostly caused by insufficient kidney qi, loss of kidney essence or coldness in the lower part of the body. Water and dampness invade the body, blocking the middle burner, causing the spleen to lose its healthy function, and insufficient source of Qi and blood. The water and dampness block the spleen yang, or even damage the spleen and kidneys. Kidney deficiency makes it impossible to transform Qi and move water, and dampness and turbidity permeate. Therefore, the disease site is wide, and may involve the five internal organs and multiple organs such as the stomach, intestines, triple burner, bladder, etc. Among them, spleen and kidney failure and the spread of dampness, turbidity and water toxins are the key to the pathogenesis. Astragalus can nourish the kidney, replenish qi, and promote diuresis, thus achieving the effect of treating chronic kidney disease.

The results showed that the astragalus group had a better therapeutic effect. Not only can symptoms such as angina pectoris be significantly relieved, but also multiple clinical objective indicators such as electrocardiogram and impedance cardiogram can be improved.

The full name of coronary heart disease is coronary atherosclerotic heart disease, also known as ischemic heart disease. Traditional Chinese medicine classifies it as "chest pain" and "heart pain", which is one of the important cardiac diseases that threaten the life and health of middle-aged and elderly people. Kidney Yang deficiency often fails to stimulate the Yang of the five internal organs, causing insufficient heart Qi or weak heart Yang. The blood vessels lose the warmth of Yang and the stimulation of Qi, then the circulation of Qi and blood becomes stagnant and causes heart pain. We should regulate yin and yang, replenish qi and blood, and adjust the weak internal organs. We should pay special attention to replenishing heart qi and warming heart yang. Therefore, use astragalus in combination with qi and blood-regulating drugs to achieve the therapeutic effect of nourishing heart qi and stimulating the heart pulse.
